OK, I got it working. Here’s my camera:
camera
{
#declare ASPECT = 4/3;
location < 0.0803394,-41.7274,-64.303 >
sky < -0.19039426700203063,-0.95564581262807657,0.22470225610612488 >
right ASPECT * < -1,0,0 >
look_at < 49.963588707634024,-64.281708407107288,-117.95945954024526 >
angle 57.8224
}

Note: I discovered that I was wrong about the right vector. The look_at
statement rotates it around based on the sky vector. I’m not sure why it needs
to be -1 for x, though. My sky vector does point down, since “up” in LDraw is
-y. Assuming you allow user input of the aspect, I can just pass -4/3, but I’m
still confused about that.
Here’s what it looks like in LDView:
Here’s what it looks like in POV:
Both images are the same size, and they pretty much line up exactly,
pixel-for-pixel. (Note that POV-Ray refracts, so everything refracted through
the glass doesn’t line up pixel-for-pixel.)
